In this case…Photoshop is only 10% of the picture…That’s why they pay $10.000/picture :)

Martin Scorcese looks great ? Uhm, well the photograph is good.

BTW I’m sure there’s heaps of hair and makeup involved as well.

I had bookmarked this post, not for the topic but for the excellent video which is a perfect example of a Time-Lapse video. Dont forget the tonnes of man hours invested on photoshop, for giving the finishing looks.

I had read somewhere that no one can take a perfect picture every single time. The inexperienced can snap a good picture say 2-3 times out of 10, which a professional will do it say around 5 times out of 10. This book then had gone on to mention what you can do to increase your batting average to 4-5 too and these were the tricks of the trade. I have put some of them into practice on a consistent basis and can say that my ratio of good vs. bad pictures has certainly improved.

So what you meant to say is that they do it because they are experienced & facilitated.I think this is the right way to take it.This motivates me to pick up my camera & start experimenting.Not easy but not impossible to capture photographs as beautiful as celebrities.

… good photography is a real skill. saves a lot of time on photoshop. I work with some under-water photoPros (no I am not the model). Next to the equipment the most important thing is “Time”. Getting your motive used to the diver. Many people have UW cameras, taking 100 of pictures on a dive. Most Pros taking 15-25 (some still swear on slides, not ) and may have 1 or 2 real exiting pictures out of them, while the “snapshooters” have 10 ok-picutres, but none of them can cause any excitement…
But even with a “cheap” setup but a lot of time you can get some great results. Have a look…

I am a pro photographer and this video is a testament to getting it right in camera. Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully, it will serve as education for the masses on how photography is really a skill!

If you have luck and/or the right motive you’ll be able to make great shots even without a lot of post-production. Even in the age of digital photography we amateurs should think about what we want to see on a picture instead of making 1000 shots and maybe there is one good on it.
Thinking about your motiv, the background and the objective of your picture takes less time than viewing 100 pictures and find a maybe good one

cheers

If you’re not technically “harming” the chicks, I wonder if PETA has any objection to fashionably fluffy chicks?

A good friend of mine comes from a family who’s living is in photography and watching him go start to finish on a portrait is almost a work of art. Creases in the face, wrinkles, bad lighting, all softens if not fades all together.

Thanks for the video and insight. All that effort and equipment for a great looking photograph? I think they need better cameras ;-)

Great tip! I love making ofs. It’s also very interesting to note that they use a “model” to check lighting before Scorcese comes out. Brilliant :)
